I was just wondering. My daughter has a severe allergy to cashews and pistachios. She has been having a rash off and on for awhile, it took awhile but i think i figured it out and it might have to do with mushroom soup which she really likes. Last night and today she had mushroom soup. Today she had a really bad rash. Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with this or what. Wasn't sure where to post it but tried here. We have already changed her soap and she seemed to be fine and this is the only common denominator i can figure out. Mostly because she was really complaining about it hurting today and she was scratching like crazy. Thanks for any help

I'd like to think that Campbell's wouldn't have those ingreds in their soup but one should never assume. It's also possible that your daughter has developed another allergy...

You could try to call Campbells but I have yet to meet anyone in Canada who has had luck getting ingredients info out of them (including my allergist for another patient). If you call them let me know how that goes.

In the meantime, I assume you will be keeping her away from the soup. If you strongly feel that the soup is causing the reaction and you are positive that the only allergies that your DD has is cashews and pistachios, you could call the CFIA to have them test the soup (assuming that you still have some of the soup...).

I read through the list of ingredients - thanks for posting. It is difficult to determine if there is something in the soup that could be the trigger - there are a few possibilites. Now that she's not eaten it for a few days, do you find her symptoms have cleared up? Does your daughter eat these ingredients in anything else? Does she drink milk? What about MSG? what about tomatoes? what about soy? what about the "spices"? (I'm asking about spices because my son is allergic to mustard and it is not required in labeling and will appear in the general "spices" listing). I wish I could help you further.

I hav not given her any more mushroom soup and she has cleared up completely. She drinks milk all the time and there is no problem. So now i think it will be where i have to break it down in the ingredients to see what it is that is causing it. Thanks for the link it was very informative. I just now have to figure out totally what is causing it. My daughter is not to happy because i have told her no more mushroom soup and it is her favorite kind of soup. Thanks for all the help and i will keep you updated on what i find out.

It is quite possible your daughter has developed an allergy to mushrooms.

I used to be able to eat mushrooms and then one day (in my early teens) I got an itchy rash after eating a meal containing mushrooms. I figured out I developed an allergy to mushrooms after a few times of eating food and getting the itchy rash. Black mushrooms, canned button mushrooms, any kind of mushroom. Each time the rash was worse leading to hives and then wheezing. Btw I Iove cashews and pistachios and luckily I am not allergic to nuts of any kind. I just avoid mushrooms as much as possible. For me it seems okay as long as I don't eat the pieces of mushroom (if they are cooked with the food and can be removed easily) but I generally avoid mushroom sauces/gravies.

Allergies are a funny thing. They can develop anytime and often to the foods you love to eat.
